Katherine Mansfield Short Stories
Published: 2015-09-27
Pages: 256
Paperback
Format: 113 x 177 mm
‘The red and yellow tulips, heavy with flowers, seemed to lean upon the dusk. A grey cat, dragging its belly, crept across the lawn, and a black one, its shadow, trailed after.’Powerful and evocative, each of Katherine Mansfield’s short stories is a masterclass in the form that made her name. Cut tragically short at the age of 34, hers was a life of passion that took her from New Zealand to Bohemian London and Paris. These various landscapes are reflected with verve in her writing, and are peopled with astutely and intimately drawn characters: lonely Miss Brill in her ermine, Colonel Pinner’s adrift daughters, mysterious Pearl Fulton.
About the Author
Katherine Mansfield was born in New Zealand in 1888, but left for England at the age of 19. There she became friends with writers such as D. H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf, and reinvigorated the short-story form, publishing numerous short-story collections and writing for magazines. Mansfield died tragically young, at the age of 34.
